Ghanaian officials and a group of Chinese investors, from the Chongqing Zhanxian Group Ltd, have visited Keta to assess potential investment opportunities in the municipality. Dr Lom Nuku Ahlijah, a senior lecturer at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration, has encouraged global investors to explore Keta's economic potential, which includes agriculture, logistics, energy, transport, real estate, and salt production.
These sectors, if developed properly, could transform the local economy and improve the livelihoods of residents. The Chinese delegation expressed interest in acquiring 30 acres of land for agricultural production, although negotiations with traditional authorities and other stakeholders are ongoing. Ahlijah highlighted agriculture as a key sector for investment, particularly in sugarcane and cassava production, which could be processed to add value and create jobs.
The proposed Keta Port and Anlo Afiadenyigba salt area were also identified as significant economic opportunities. Despite Keta's rich history and resources, it has seen slow development in recent years. Ahlijah expressed optimism that the Chinese investment visit would mark the beginning of further engagements between Ghanaian investors and their Chinese counterparts, with the aim of turning Keta into an attractive investment destination and creating jobs, expanding local businesses, and improving livelihoods.
